Cock's Comb Flare

A few weeks ago I shot some of my friend's lovely Cock's Comb flowers - Vibrant colors abound!  I used a Nikon D700 at 1/320 @ f2.8, ISO 200.

Portraits in the Hood

While shooting for my Bio-Portrait class I caught my neighbor Will on the stoop.  I had to shoot him with Thump and Missie.  I used a Nikon D700 at 1/100 @ f4, ISO 200.

Courthouse Skew.

During our Process Monitoring class I explored the options we have to achieve perspective correction.  I shot with Canon, Nikon, and Sinar F1 cameras.  This is the skewed file of the old Asheboro Courthouse.
I shot this with a Nikon D700 at 1/500 @ f8, ISO 200.

Portrait Bay Light Lesson

For our Bio-Portrait class we had to work with five lights and in the portrait bay.  So many options for us.  Here we have a left kicker light only.  On the right we all five strobing for the full effect.  I used a Nikon D700 to shoot at 1/60 @ f8, ISO 200.

Bio-Com Water Assignment

While trying to get the right shots for my water assignment, I happened to catch Carmen cross into the one bit of sunlight shining through the trees.  You can have fun shooting for school.

Pen Tool Test! Cheers to the Commercial Students!

After some serious battles with the pen tool, I finally finished my first Photoshop test.

The Panorama is Finally Done!

After some travelling and shooting I finally got the shots I needed for my panorama.  Here is a 360 degree view from the outer tip of Hanging Rock.  I had to set up on the rock surrounded on three sides by serious drops with gusting winds making it interesting.  The sun made it tricky but it all worked out in the end.  Shot with a Nikon D700 at 1/25 @ f20, ISO 200.  The 17-35mm 1:2.8 lens kept it nice and clear.

Pharmaceutical Projects Gone Awry!

These are examples of a pharmaceutical project gone awry.  Notice the bad skin tones.  My gracious models Elizabeth and Jack, were both shot by a Nikon D300 at 1/30 @ f5.6, ISO 200.  Lighting provided by two Halolights and a 750 with gel for the background.

The Wonders of Lumen Printing

In our Process Monitoring class for Biocommunications we made Lumen Prints.  The process involves pressing live plants onto printing paper with glass.  You then leave it in the direct sun until the plants turn brown.  After that you scan your paper and process the colors through Photoshop.  This is my first one I tried and I like the possibilities you can achieve.

Preparing for Panorama!

While preparing to shoot a panorama I couldn't resist this depth of field shot.  I used a Nikon D700 to shoot this at 1/160 @ f6.3, ISO 200.  The finished panorama is coming soon!

My Bio-Com portrait assignment with Torii Rogers

We had to illustrate the five styles of portrait lighting today.  Torii was a great model to work with.
I shot this with a Nikon D700 at 1/125 @ f2.8 at ISO 200.

Six-Shooter Bacon

I love to cook so I'm always fixing something good.  I'm southern so I had to notice the shape of my bacon.
